July/August Mystery Bird

(We realized after publication that it could also be a White Pelican, so we included those answers in the drawing, as well.) Good luck with this month's challenge (below), inspired by one of the exhibits that caught Olivia's attention when she toured the National Zoo on her trip to DC. No hint this month, since we are showing the entire bird—get out those bird guides! We will need the complete common name, i.e. "Downy Woodpecker," not just "Woodpecker." The winner will receive a plush Audubon singing bird and will be chosen at random from all entries received that correctly identify the species (NAS employees can play but not win). One entry per person please! Please email us your entry, being sure the words "Mystery Bird" appear in the subject line. Deadline for entering is Sunday, August 29.
